    I eat hot cereals. Oatmeal, co co wheats, and cream of wheat. I make them with almond milk and so they are all sugar free and low sodium.

    If you look at my breakfast it's been the same now for weeks upon weeks: 3 scrambled eggs and 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese. 300 calories -- only 7 carbs and 28g of protein. Yum.

    Today: one lean turkey burger patty (about 3 oz); 3/4 cup frozen green beans microwaved for 4 minutes, with garlic salt, lemon pepper, and a tiny dab of butter; 2 tablespoons walnut pieces.

    I'm not big on the idea of certain foods for certain meals.

    I buy the Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal - & eat it everyday with almond milk. I know buying the packets isn't the best way to eat oatmeal but I'm too lazy and would rather spend the 10 minutes of prep time in my bed :tongue: It's delicious, and oatmeal is one of the best ways to start the day off because it's a great complex carb that provides plenty of fiber to help keep your hunger at bay until lunch.

    Lately I've been enjoying an Ezekiel english muffin with 2 wedges of light laughing cow cheese. The English Muffins are a complete protein. :)

    Bacon and eggs gets a bad wrap but I say it's still the perfect breakfast! But if we're talking shakes I say add some peanut butter (if you have the calories), instant coffee, and coconut/almond (or a blend of the two that they sell) along with some ice then blend. This makes the chocolate powders take a lot like an almond joy and the stawberry ones taste almost like Captain Crunch.

    I eat the Kashi instant oatmeal with half a cup of almond milk. I'll cut up 3 strawberries or so and eat that.
    Or, I make myself a omlette with egg whites which are good in protein. :) In my omlette I'll put either pico de gallo (I love spicy!) or cheese.

    ideas:

    2 eggs scrambled, topped with 1/2 serving taco meat, 1/2 serving shredded cheese, 1 serving salsa

    1 serving old fashioned oatmeal with 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon -OR- 1 Tbsp honey and 1/4 tsp cinnamon -OR- 1-2 tsp pure maple syrup

    1 serving old fashioned oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder in it (can't vouch for this one but I see it on here all the time)

    2 hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, low or no-fat yogurt (I like greek, I prefer the thick consistency over the slimy, snotty texture of regular)

    protein pancakes (use the forum search feature to find recipes)

    steak & eggs, just be sure to watch your portion size on the steak

    toast with peanut butter, fresh fruit, oatmeal

    Thanks for your help! great ideas :wink:

    I thoroughly enjoy this:

    2 slices of turkey bacon
    1 fried egg
    1 slice of cheese (I use american)
    1 english muffin

    Make a nice little breakfast sandwhich. I often eat this for lunch when I'm at home also.

    With the brands I use this comes to 330 calories, 29 carbs, 13 fat, 25 protein,875 sodium, and 2 sugar.

    You could also throw some avacado on there or tomato.

    Silken tofu in shakes makes it creamy and has protein.

    Omelet made with 1 egg, 2 egg whites, red and green peppers, jalapeño pepper, chipotle pepper in adobo, turkey sausage crumbles, cilantro, and reduced fat cheese. ( I dice all the veggies and sauté with the turkey sausage first.) Top with salsa if you like. Be careful to add only a small amount of chipotle as they are extremely spicy.

    I love eggs: scrambled, fried, omelet. To spice them up I add veggies, ham, salsa, etc. I also like cottage cheese with fruit with a side of pb toast. Protein smoothies are great as well, especially if you throw in some spinach for some extra nutrients. I've also started making protein pancakes (1 banana, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 whole egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract) which are sooo good!

    hey snowflake! feel free to check out my diary. lately i've been having eggs scrambled w cheese, chives, cilantro, and shot of hot sauce w ham and a piece of fruit (either tangerine or small apple). it fits in well low carbing.

    another LC option that i really like is this smoothie: 8 oz soy milk, 1/4 cup soft tofu, 6 strawberries, 2 T PB2, ice, and a lil non-sugar sweetener. Ya don't taste the tofu...it just adds creaminess.
